Can mshow display multiple parts at once? #198

Closed guillaumecherel closed 3 years ago

guillaumecherel commented 3 years ago

The man says

mshow, by default, decodes all ‘text/’, ‘message/rfc822’ and ‘multipart/’ parts […]

But I can't get it to decode both the text/html and text/calendar at the same time.

I have an email that has the following parts:

  1: multipart/alternative size=7357
    2: text/plain size=206
    3: text/html size=2130
    4: text/calendar size=3227

and I set up the filters for text/calendar (just use text/calendar: cat for testing purpose). Running mshow -A text/plain:text/calendar only displays the text part. Is there a way to make it display all parts at once? There is mshow -O msg parts ..., but it requires telling explicitly which parts to extract. I'm looking for a more automatic way.

Interesting use case, this is not supported yet. I guess one could add a flag that renders all parts.

Thanks for your answer. I don't have time to work on it for the moment so I'm closing this issue. I got around with a script of my own calling mshow multiple times.
